Chi Qingchi glanced at the three male classmates.
The quick-witted one immediately spoke up:
"Good evening, everyone. My sister and I are done shopping—you guys can keep waiting in line."
With that,
he pulled his sister away from the scene.
The three boys had expected the twins' "aloof" attitude.
This was how they acted at school too.
Outside campus, the distance only felt more pronounced.
The lanky Gao Yumin stared at the sisters' retreating figures for a long moment before grinning:
"Hey, which of the twins do you think is prettier—the older sister or the younger one?"
The short, dark-skinned Gou Feng gave him a puzzled look:
"When did you go blind? They look exactly the same!"
Zhao Bin shot him a disdainful glance:
"Other than obsessing over laundry, what else are you good for?"
"No two people are completely identical, not even twins! The differences are obvious!"
"I think the younger sister is cuter—total kawaii vibes, heh."
Gao Yumin wagged a finger:
"Hard disagree. The older sister is the real prize."
"That icy demeanor of hers… damn, it sends chills right to your soul!"
"That kind of girl is way more satisfying to conquer, you know?"
The moment he said this,
his two friends' expressions shifted dramatically.
Gou Feng: "Damn, kid, I respect your audacity!"
Zhao Bin: "I’m telling the class monitor you’re eyeing his crush!"
Gou Feng: "Yeah, I heard it too—he even shuddered talking about her."
Zhao Bin: "Ooooh, someone’s playing with fire~"
Gao Yumin effortlessly hoisted a case of beer to shoulder height:
"Go ahead and snitch if you’re itching for a beating. You guys wouldn’t get it—I’m just appreciating beauty."
"Two years in college without a girlfriend—explaining this to you is pointless."
Zhao Bin: "At least I’ve tried pursuing someone, even if it was just flirting. But Dog Bro here…"
Gou Feng: "Shut the hell up! Am I the only one in our class who’s never dated? Quit bringing it up every time… Lin Yu?!"
Zhao Bin: "Can you even name someone worse off? With his circumstances… everyone knows. What girl in her right mind would date him?"
Gao Yumin: "No need to attack him like that. Dog Bro’s clinging to his last shred of dignity—let him have it, haha!"
Gou Feng: "I’m talking about over there! Our classmate Lin Yu!"
Only then did Dog Bro and his two buddies simultaneously turn their gaze toward the middle of the street.
The three college students had no idea:
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back.
…
One minute earlier.
[Ding!]
[Crisis Alert: Members of the Blazing Abyss cult have been detected nearby. Some fellow sect members are already being targeted. Host, remain vigilant and respond carefully!]
Mr. Lin, an ordinary citizen returning from grocery shopping, suddenly heard the system notification.
Having previously battled "Outsider Demons,"
he knew the enemy was close.
But pinpointing them in this bustling, crowded street was no easy task.
Lin Yu steadied himself, pushing his super-vision and super-hearing abilities to their limits.
He scanned every passerby with meticulous focus.
Then the name "Lin Yu" drifted into his ears.
His attention snapped to the trio of vaguely familiar guys in front of the fried chicken stand.
Thankfully, he’d done his homework today.
Otherwise, recognizing classmates he hadn’t seen in over a decade—especially male ones—would’ve been impossible at a glance!
Dog Bro, Tall Gao, Old Zhao!
Nicknames always stuck better than real names.
These three shared a dorm with the class monitor, Shi Yanhai, forming an inseparable little clique.
[Members of the Blazing Abyss cult]…
Class Monitor Shi Yanhai…
Now, Lin Yu had a pretty good idea who today’s "demon troupe" referred to!
After Gou Feng’s shout of "Lin Yu,"
the comments from Gao Yumin and Zhao Bin didn’t escape his ears either.
Lin Yu felt nothing.
Given his past life’s experiences and background, he knew he belonged to the "minority group" that girls in film school would never glance at twice.
He was self-aware enough to accept that.
In his past life, hearing such remarks might’ve stung.
But now…
Ah, youth. If you can’t find love at the peak of your attractiveness, good luck later.
Besides,
Lin Yu now had his sweet, devoted Xiao Fufu by his side!
"Watch your step."
Lin Yu gently guided Ye Mengfu’s arm to steer her through the jostling crowd.
[Ding!]
[Masterstroke Move: A subtle act of daily care warms your dao companion’s heart!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
[Ding!]
[Critical Hit: Intimate gesture with an ethereal beauty delivers a devastating blow to the Blazing Abyss cult members who underestimated the host!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones, 20 spirit stones, 20 spirit stones]
Here it comes.
That familiar feeling is back!
The happiest two-for-one deal:
Sweet and sour, with a side of braised flavor!
Still, what a shame…
Why are there only four in their dorm?
Lin Yu suppressed a smirk, eagerly anticipating this "chance encounter."
To ensure his former classmates had enough time to react,
he deliberately slowed his pace.
Gao Yumin, with the clearest line of sight, saw it first.
He blurted out in disbelief:
"Holy shit, it really is Lin Yu!"
"Who’s that bombshell next to him? Someone from our school?"
"Wait—is he actually holding her hand? Did they just—kiss?!"
Zhao Bin craned his neck like a wobbling goat, straining for a better view:
"I thought I was hallucinating—did he just pull her arm?!"
"Since when did Lin Yu get a girlfriend?"
"Must be from another school. Does she not know his family situation?"
"Damn, she’s giving the twins a run for their money—and that figure? Absolute knockout!"
Gou Feng’s eyes practically shot flames.
This wasn’t just about losing his "bottom-of-the-barrel" buddy.
The way the girl shyly fidgeted, demure and gentle…
She was the exact type he’d searched for in vain throughout film school!
How…
How the hell did Lin Yu land her?!
With his mediocre grades?
His less-than-ideal family background?
His quiet, unassuming personality?
"Lin Yu! Yu! Over here!"
Gou Feng cupped his hands around his mouth, shouting loud enough to pierce the crowd.
Gao Yumin: "Wait—Dog Bro, why the hell are you calling him? Trying to invite him to eat? You think Hai-ge would agree?"
Zhao Bin: "Dog Bro, don’t tell me you… just want a whiff?"
Gou Feng immediately snapped back:
"Shut the fuck up, both of you! Maybe they’re not even together."
"What’s wrong with saying hi to a classmate?"
His desperate shouts didn’t just reach Lin Yu—
even Ye Mengfu heard them.
Ye Mengfu: "Um, I think someone’s…"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yeah. Just… some classmates. Let’s go say hello."
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
M-meet Lin Yu’s classmates?!
Ye Mengfu was completely unprepared!
Yet before she could process it,
she was already being led toward the sidewalk.
But she wasn’t the only one caught off guard.
Gou Feng noticed the two were getting closer and closer.
When the distance was less than a meter,
his daily habit kicked in, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath...
Gou Feng: "!!!"
Vital 28 Lavender Fragrance Laundry Detergent, Green Umbrella Rose-Scented Softener...
Not many people in Pingchuan use these two products...
But this scent...
It was coming from Lin Yu!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
some people's 18th birthday, deities bestow a playing card imbued with "supernatural abilities." 52 playing cards, 52 unique powers. Those who receive these special cards gain admission to the finest supernatural academy. School Beauty: "I have the Queen of Spades—I can summon any weapon!" Rich Heir: "My dad holds the Jack of Diamonds—it grants infinite wealth!" Meanwhile, in another corner, a young man wields his card, effortlessly using all 52 abilities. The crowd gasps in shock. "What card do you have?" The youth glances at his card and smirks: "Well..." Busiest in the circus, wildest in Gotham. Standing guard at McDonald's, unmatched in the deck.

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
